Help Creating this Profile/Task?

Hi, I'm not too proficient in Tasker, but would really like to create this -- anyone guidance/assistance would be appreciated

I have a list of 500 words and definitions (right now they are separated by a dash (-) and a space, but I can change that if need be)
I want Tasker to...
--->Notify me at the following times: 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 9:00 PM of one of the words on the list (day 1 would be first 5, day 2 would be the second 5, etc)

--->Have me click a button to see the definition of the word

--->Prompt me with two options: "know" or "don't know"
----------->If I click "know," that word won't come up again
----------->If I click "don't know," that word will come up again with the next word (two words will come up at the next time interval)
---------------->I will have to go through both words with the know/don't know option
----------------->The words are compounded each time I click don't know
[The word will keep coming up at every time interval (even if it must go to the next day) until I click "know"; There may be a few words at a time interval if I keep clicking don't know]

If possible, I would also like to narrow it down so it only notifies me on Sunday - Friday (not Saturdays) -- thanks so much!
 
I've tried Anki-Droid - the main reason I want Tasker is because I just want it to do 1 word every 4 hours, and I want a notification, two things that aren't meant to be done in Anki --
 
I think this is exactly the answer - let Ankidroid to handle the learning and use tasker just for notification every 4 hours including automatic start of Ankidroid.
 
I'm not necessarily opposed to that idea, and if I get no replies on how to set up this profile, I'll utilize it, however, I just feel like that's an unnecessarily long amount of time wasted for something so simple

It would take approximately 15 seconds to open Anki + I'd have to set up all of the things I want it to do...

I feel like, if possible, this strategy could be better utilized with Tasker...all I really need to know how to do is get tasker to read, and separate the file; I think I can do the rest
 
Yeah, I get that, and I was playing around with it, but as I said, I'm not amazing with Tasker...

So, if I had it read the file, then split it based line breaks (as each word has a line break till the next word), and then again by spaces (as there is a space between the word and the definition), how would I do that w/o making a new action for EACH line
